Vanderbilt University's Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) Life will sponsor a candlelight vigil honoring the 10th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

The event begins at All Faith Chapel with a memorial for those killed because of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The chapel is located directly beneath the university's Benton Chapel. Following the memorial, attendees will march with lighted candles to Vanderbilt's K.C. Potter Center for a celebration of life.

The Office of LGBTQI Life at Vanderbilt provides support and is a place of affirmation for individuals of all identities as well as a resource for information about gender and sexuality. The office serves all members of the Vanderbilt community -- students, faculty, staff and alumni -- by creating educational, cultural and social opportunities. The office also supports and advises LGBTQI-related campus groups and activities.
